LPC, 11 years of experience
My name is Brittany Stark. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have worked in the mental health field for the last 3 years. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I started out as a first-grade elementary teacher and taught for 8 years. I then went back to school and got my Master's in School Counseling. I have worked in the school setting as a Counselor for the last 9 years. I currently have over 18 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and their families. In addition to my education career, I worked as a Behavioral Health Therapist at a Behavioral Health hospital for 2 years. My expertise is related to working with individuals that have experienced grief and loss, as well as symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, or mood, behavioral issues, and career challenges. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help. My hope is that we will work together to help you live your best life and find joy and meaning again.
My goal as a therapist is to help my clients' set goals during their first session that they would like to focus on during their future sessions. We will work together to navigate through life's difficult challenges. During this time clients will also learn different strategies that will help them manage their anxiety, depression, grief, and other major life changes.
My therapeutic style is kind, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I strive to build a good therapeutic relationship with all my clients. I will treat all my clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I like to use Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness. I individualize the treatment to best meet the needs of each of my clients. I am very passionate about my work and want to make my clients feel comfortable during their sessions.
I pride myself in the fact that I am very good listener and I provide a space that helps my clients feel safe and secure.
